Just to make it clear about the JadeTeX macros, they exist in 3
places:

 a) in the Jade distribution. I do not imagine James will want to
switch this version often, but they will change there if the backend
changes.

 b) the canonical up to date place is CTAN, eg
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/jadetex. this includes a
directory "cooked" with up to date versions of needed packages.

 c) the location for experimental releases is
http://www.tug.org/applications/jadetex which I may change at whim.


Jade 1.2 will now produce a TeX file starting \FOT{n}, where n is a
number representing the revision of the backend TeX format. The
JadeTeX package will check this, and complain if there is no
match. JadeTeX itself has a minor version number (currently 1) used to
identify changes which are compatible with the major version backend.

As of today, b) and c) above are identical, and working to the best of
my belief. If in doubt, collect a copy from b) for your system.

All older patches to Jade are obsolete; anyone interested in JadeTeX
is highly recommended to start with a fresh Jade 1.2 and fresh JadeTeX,
and report errors based on that setup.

As of this release, David Carlisle's MathML DSSSL specification should
run with no need for a special jadetex.cfg.
